Great trip - We had an awesome experience with Tom, our driver/guide. He shared a lot of information not just about places we visited but also about other things. He made sure we were able to visit all the places comfortably.

Great experience - Great tour and great guide. The tour guide was super informative. It was great seeing everything on your own time and not on a huge bus where you have to wait around for others. Spent more time on some sites and less at others based on our own preference. Guide was great and very accommodating! Sinatra was beautiful. Only regret is doing this tour on my last day here instead of earlier. Sintra is beautiful!

Traveling the Downside of Sintra - Very disappointing. It was not a tour, but merely an expensive cab service and not a good one at that. At each stop, the driver informed us that we would not get picked up at the exit, but rather had to walk a distance to the reserved parking lot which was a problem for me with limited mobility. It appeared that regular taxis would have picked us up at the exit. While the driver was polite, he made clear he had no knowledge of the area. In fact, the travel agency didn’t even secure tickets to the site for us. Taking an Uber would have been much less expensive and no less helpful.
